When we launched the Sustainable Winegrowing Podcast in 2016, we weren’t sure where it would go. Now, 300 episodes later, it’s become a go-to resource for growers, researchers, educators, and wine industry professionals dedicated to sustainability. To mark this milestone, we flipped the mic around and interviewed our host, Craig Macmillan, PhD — long-time vineyard and winery professional, educator, and now podcasting veteran — to reflect on some favorite episodes, meaningful moments, and what’s ahead. From Zoom Recordings to Global Reach Craig began hosting when the podcast was just an idea sparked by the Vineyard Team’s goal to make sustainable winegrowing knowledge more accessible. “I wasn't a podcast listener at all,” Craig admits. “But I said sure, why not? Let's try it.” Since then, the show has featured scientists, growers, and innovators from all over the world, creating a ripple effect of conversations and c

Vineyard Robotics is transforming how wine grape growers monitor and manage their crop. Our AI-powered camera systems gather precise, vine-level data from bud break to bloom to harvest. Easily mount the system to any ATV, tractor, or farm vehicle and drive any speed from 1–12 mph past your rows. Our cameras capture accurate fruit counts, cluster size, color, bloom data, canopy vigor, and more. FruitScope OS lets you take action on your data in the field so you can plan efficiently, forecast reliably, and manage your vineyard with precision.

A look back at our presence at the Cuma day on Thursday July 3, at Château Bonnet, organized by the network of local CUMA Federations of Gironde & Lot-et-Garonne , by the CUMA Federation of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and by the Gironde Chamber of Agriculture .  Around ten companies were present for demonstrations and practical exercises of their innovations. Exhibitors and demonstrations  all day long A day on the theme of Robotics and Wine Innovation with different themes covered such as:  Robots Guidance and autoguidance systems Drones Disease detection Connected boxes Intra-plot modulation Decision support tool It was punctuated by demonstrations in the plots, discussions between professionals on the stands and a round table on climate issues. This event allowed us to introduce Process2Wine to some winegrowers who hadn't yet had the opportunity to meet us. We came to them. We were able to demonstrate once again that our software is the leader in the wine mark
